Even though temperature maxima is occasionally warmer than average, reduced cloud cover frequently produces a cooler temperature minimum during winter-spring and a longer frost season. El Niño's effect on Australian rainfall decreases after November, particularly in the southeast, and therefore a pronounced difference between the rainfall ...
The patterns in a climograph describe not just a location's climate but also provide evidence for that climate's relative geographical location. For example, a climograph with a narrow range in temperature over the year might represent a location close to the equator, or alternatively a location adjacent to a large body of water exerting a ...
